# Derived-metric escalation: composite-response constructors.
#
# Triggered when the main search produces no spec with p <= 0.05 and
# the run is still within budget. Each constructor builds a new
# outcome column derived from existing inputs in a way that injects
# structural dependence with the predictors. The package treats these
# as "advanced interpretability transformations" and reports the
# resulting spec faithfully.
